The Crucial Need For Lemon Law Enforcement
Some 40 years after the enactment of the original lemon laws, their need is still being aptly demonstrated. An Ogden, Utah car dealer was recently charged with fraud and forgery after allegedly foisting off a truck on an unsuspecting customer that was actually a “manufacturer’s buyback.” That meant that the vehicle was defective enough that the manufacturer had purchased it back from the previous owner-a fact that must be disclosed to anyone else purchasing the vehicle. The car dealer, while being marched off to jail, was still vehemently denying any wrongdoing, even after being charged with forging documents to hide the truck’s actual history.
A Maryland car dealership is also being investigated by state officials there for similar practices-about 80 customers were sold manufacturer’s buybacks over the last 2 years, their actual histories being hidden from buyers. The dealer claimed “it was more of a clerical problem than a nondisclosure”-a statement that surely did little to pacify the outraged purchasers.
If every manufacturer always stood behind its product unconditionally, there would be no need for lemon laws. Instead, every state in the union has some kind of lemon law to protect its citizens from living with defective vehicles. This confirms that there is a need to protect consumers. Manufacturers left to their own devices will not do the right thing.
Tattoo and Tattoo Laws in the US
Tattoo is a form of body art where a design is permanently carved in the skin with the help of electric needles and ink. Tattoo word originated from the Tahitian term ‘tatua’ which means ‘to mark’. This art form has existed in several culture and countries for centuries.
Tattooing is a well recognized art form in America. However, in last three decades this art form has undergone tremendous change, when people who were trained in traditional fine arts began to accept tattooing. These highly skilled artist developed entirely new sorts of sophisticated imagery and techniques.
Many people think that getting tattooed loved ones name on their body is a great way to express true love. For many it is a mark of manliness. In many case, people tattooed body in order to place protective or therapeutic symbols permanently.
When Can Our Rights Be Wrong
As a general principle the law does not allow something to be done indirectly, which cannot be done directly; but, this has never prevented some from trying.
A Working Arrangement
In January 1992 the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (“RCMP”) and the Department of National Revenue (“CRA”) signed a Working Arrangement (“MOU”) with two (2) stated objectives:
1. to collect taxes; and
2. to increase the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement.
